  I have done a complete reinstallation of Windows XP Pro from the original disc and managed to update to SP2.  However, when I tried to upgrade to SP3, I got an error that "the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page.  I tried all the suggested fixes that I can find.

  During the last attempt, I discovered that several dll is missing.  Here's the msxml6.dll, wups2.dll, c:\windows\system32\wucltux.dll and c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll.  If they are critical, where can I find them, and how do I get support.

  In addition, mshtml.dll is available, but the DllRegisterServer could not find an entry point.  Is this critical?

  In any case, I still can I install Microsoft Update or download/install SP3.

  The computer is an IBM R50e laptop.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Try to run this tool to windows update. This will help to re-register the dll

  After its done. try again and do the update

• "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  missing volume control

  volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

  "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

  When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

  Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

  It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

  This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

  We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

  If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

  If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  Browsing from a level in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32

  Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

  Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

  Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

  @Whitebearmike

  Question for you: what is the level of service pack of the operating system XP?

  If no or anything under service pack 3, you need to get to service pack 3.

  Run WINVER to check the service pack level.

  If your XP is the gold (no service pack) version or even the sp1 or sp2 windows (iirc) then automatic updates will not work.

  You must have service pack 3, but so that you have either installed SP1a or SP2.

  Please review carefully. Make a backup of your system offline media (before & after each service pack).

  To download service pack 2 - see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=186637

  To download service pack 3 - see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=183302

  I invite you to do a mirror image of system backup once SP3 is correctly in place. Mirror-image backups are on the only good way to come back to a clean image, if and when disaster strikes.

  You can use the following to install the service Pack XP
